King's Hall date for McCullough


Yet another comeback attempt by Wayne McCullough

Former world bantamweight champion Wayne McCullough is to relaunch his career at the King's Hall on Saturday, 1 December against Kiko Martinez.

The Spaniard, who halted Bernard Dunne's unbeaten run as a professional in August, could put his European Super Bantamweight crown up for grabs.

The European Boxing Union has been asked to sanction the 12-round fight in Belfast.

Brian Magee is also on the bill against an as yet unnamed opponent.

McCullough was due to make a comeback last June in Dublin, but he decided to stay home in Las Vegas amid uncertainty about the arrangement of a suitable opponent.

The Belfast man's last appearance was a defeat to Mexican Oscar Larios for the WBC super bantamweight title fight in Las Vegas back 2005.

Martinez now boasts a record of 14 knockouts in 17 victories.
